Better Changes

1. Very good CGI for the show, even for 2000s standards, unlike the original version.
2. Better voice cast, less-bizarre story writing, and good lip-syncing.
3. This is made from America, instead of France and Canada.
4. American voice-acting (except for Sterling Jarvis as DK's singing voice).
5. Good-written songs and better singing voices.
6. Better character designs that fit the original video games.
7. DK has less-childish voice acting (as Kevin Michael Richardson voices him).
8. The show not only uses elements from the first DKC video game, but uses more than one, like from DKC2, DKC3, and DK64.
9. Like the video games, the island is called DK Island, not Kongo Bongo Island.
10. The story has the heroes bringing back the banana hoard, instead of the Crystal Coconut.
11. Tiny, Lanky, and Chunky Kong are on DK and Diddy's side, unlike the original version.
12. Season 3 is added.
